Rosie, Jim and Kim I am so very sorry for your loss. We are never ready to let our child go, even when they are adults. Just not suppose to happen that way. Not them before us. Hurts beyond the imagination. I will keep you all in my prayers asking for strength for you through this most difficult time.

Rosie, I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am to hear of Jay's passing. I am instantly transported back to our cub scout days and that mischievous little boy who stole everybody's heart. As a mother of kids his age, I can't even imagine how you must feel. Our kids are never supposed to go before us. My heart goes out to you and your family. Know that I will keep you in my prayers and send you much love.
